Beach, bikes and babes—what more could be asked for in a weekend jam-packed for the South Padre Island BikeFest.

Oct. 13-16 will mark the days for the festival starting off the event with registration at noon at the South Padre Island Convention Centre. There will be live music featured from artists such as Southern Train, Albert T Band, Gatos Locos, and many more.

The Girls Night Out, Bring Your Own Bra (BYOB) decorating party will take place at the Hilton Garden Inn on Oct. 13 at 7 p.m., with the “Show us your Bra” parade to follow at 9:15 p.m. by the pool. This event is not just for looks. It is meant to show the importance of breast cancer awareness in the biker community.
